Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Haze
This polarizing scent has some calling it a creamy, gentle crowd-pleaser, while others recoil from a 'raunchy old-school rose'. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Italia
This one is a car crash, to be honest. The community's pretty clear: it's synthetic, overwhelming, and just not a pleasant experience. Avoid, unless you enjoy smelling like 'chemical garbage'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purple Haze

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it unsuitable for tightly packed offices, despite its creamy undertones. It shines on dates or formal events where its sensuality and warmth can be appreciated, though some find it too 'old-school' for casual wear.

Italia

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

Given the overwhelming and 'stinky' synthetic nature highlighted by reviews, this fragrance is unsuitable for any occasion where you might be in close proximity to others. Its reported strength means it would be particularly offensive in an office or date setting.
